Log file rotation

juhi

I am using birt v3.7.1 and mongodb-oda plugin for birt.

There are log files getting created under tomcat/logs folder ReportEngine_date_time.log every time i send a request for the birt report. There is unnecessary space utilization and there is nothing that seems to be useful on any of the BIRT sites. Also there are ODA-HELPER logs getting generated where the .rptdesign files are placed on the disk under the package "logs\org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.consumer\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.mongodb\"> for each request.

How can I enable rotation of these log files and not allow them getting created on every request.

Are you using the Viewer? Currently the viewer only supports setting the log level and location in the web.xml. If you are using the API you can set:

config = new EngineConfig( );
config.setLogConfig("c:/test7", Level.FINEST);
config.setLogMaxBackupIndex(1);
config.setLogRollingSize(2000);
Platform.startup( config );

I have tried making these settings within a beforeFactory script of a report I run once with some success.

importPackage(Packages.java.util.logging);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.impl);

config = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getConfig();
config.setLogMaxBackupIndex(1);
config.setLogRollingSize(5000);
var dir = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getConfig().getLogDirectory();
config.setLogConfig(newdir, Level.FINEST );

var el = new EngineLogger();
el.stopEngineLogging();
var logger = config.getLogger( );
var dest = config.getLogDirectory( );
var file = config.getLogFile( );
var level = config.getLogLevel( );
var rollingSize = config.getLogRollingSize( );
var maxBackupIndex = config.getLogMaxBackupIndex( );
el.startEngineLogging( logger, dest, file, level,rollingSize, maxBackupIndex );
